125 
RANGE. — Portugal: Several localities (acc. Tavares 1902 and 1928; 
probably distinct host varieties represented?). 
Spain: Several localities (acc. Tavares 1928; probably distinct host 
varieties represented?). 
France: Luynes- V alabre in Bouches-du-Rhone (Guillaud acc. Cotte 
1912). Cogolin, Bormes, and Avignon (acc. Cotte 1912). 
Italy: Palermo (Stefani acc. Houard 1912:33). Triest (acc. Graff e 
1905). Genoa (acc. Mantero 1906). Verona (acc. Massalongo 1892; 
also Trotter in Kinsey coll.). Tregnago (acc. Massalongo 1893). Lom- 
bardy (acc. Stegagno 1904). 
Montenegro (Trotter acc. Darboux and Houard 1907). 
Austria: (Mayr, inch gall in Kinsey coll.). Vienna (Giraud acc. 
Schenck 1865). 
Hungary: near Budapest (Sajo in Kinsey coll.). 
Czecho-Slovakia: Bohemia (in Kinsey coll.). Pavlovske (Baudys

Known thruout Mediterranean Europe and from Asia Minor and 
Africa; not definitely known north of the Pyrennes or the Alps except 
in Provence (southern France), Hungary, and Czecho-Slovakia. Re- 
placed in more Central Europe by the variety folii. The records for 
Asia Minor need re-determination on the basis of bred insect specimens.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION.— Mayr, 1881, Gen. gallenbew. Cynip.: 
36. Die Form: D. folii Schenck (Nass. Cynip., pag. 57) Mayr, welche 
ich D. pubescentis nenne und von Geoffroy (Hist, abreg. d.Ins. 1762, T. 
II, pag. 309, PL 15, Fig. 2 mit Ausschluss des Citates) besonders die 
Galle beschrieben und abgebildet wurde, diirfte wohl nur als Subspecies 
von D. folii L. zu betrachten sein. 
Translation: Schenck’s D. folii (cit.) , which I am naming D. pu- 
bescentis , the gall of which, moreover, was described and figured by 
Geoffroy (cit.), is probably to be considered only a subspecies of D. 
folii Linnaeus. 
Also Mayr, 1882, Europ. gallenbew. Cynip.: 36. Erzeugt kleinere, 
etwas plattgedriickt-kugelige harte, trockene Blattgallen an Q. pubes- 
cens und fliegt im Freien hbchst wahrscheinlich zu Ende des Winters 
(bei Zimmerzucht schon, wie die vorige Art, zu Beginn des Winters) 
aus. Wahrscheinlich die agame Form von D. flosculi Gir. 
Translation: Produces a small, rather comprest, spheroidal, hard, 
and dull-surfaced leaf gall on Q. pubescens, and emerges most likely 
at the end of the winter (at the beginning of the winter when bred in- 
doors, just as with the previous species [ folii ]). Apparently the agamic 
form of D. flosculi Giraud.
